Re: Spa Nidd saddle
Does it have the synthetic backing material on the underside which tends to prevent the saddle 'breaking in', or is it one of the newer models where this backing material is omitted?
I have an ageing Esk model which is still rock hard after 25000 miles more or less........fairly comfortable though!

Re: Headset on Claud Butler Dalesman
Good idea, I reckon your upper headset bearing arrangement is not fitted correctly, it doesn't look quite right. Maybe one of the bearing 'shields' (for want of a better word) is upside down.

Re: Choosing puncture resistant tyres on a new bike before buying
Yes, I've had good service from the Continenetal Contact Plus (with normal tubes) for the past year. Getting on for 3000 commuting miles and have always stayed inflated. Can't really say if they're more comfortable than Schwalbe Marathon Plus as I tend to keep my tyres at firm pressures and neither brand provides a particularly plush ride!Vetus Ossa wrote: ↑6 Mar 2024, 4:53pm Continental Contact plus with slime inner tubes, can't be bettered.

Re: last second ebay bidding
Yes, but surely you would still have 'won' it without the sniping software if you had just entered your maximum bid at the outset??Jezrant wrote: ↑11 Mar 2024, 6:01pm
One of the last times I 'won' an auction on fleabay, I made an educated guess about what the item was worth and then put in a maximum bid much lower with the sniping software. I was actually testing the sniping software as it was still fairly new to me at the time (this was a few years ago). There were a few other bidders and a little flurry of activity in the last few seconds, and then I 'won'. £200 less than what I would have wanted if I was selling that item.
Ebay bids automatically for you, up to your maximum bid doesn't it.

Re: 1995 Ralegh M-Trax with Sturmey hub gears and brakes
Maybe stick it in the actual 'for sale' section for £1 or some other token amount. I think that section of the forum may get more views than this one.
As you say, the hubs alone, if you're into that sort of thing, would make this a very interesting proposition for someone in your area.
Best of luck in getting rid and making space, certainly there must exist 'bike tinkerers' close to you!!

Re: Importing a new or 2nd hand bike into the UK from the EU.
Yes, and try and get any decent appreciating stock investments within an ISA quick. You were allowed to make £12000 last year, 6 grand this year and a paltry £3000 next year. Although I doubt much sympathy would be garnered if this were your topic of winge down the local boozer!!brianleach wrote: ↑5 Mar 2024, 9:58amDon't forget to consider the possible capital gains tax liability!the right time to cash out a chunk of money

Re: Axa bottle dynamo wiring
Good to hear a happy punter.
I use a similar set up on my tandem, the only niggle I have is that during daylight hours the bottle dynamo tends to 'spring' into action when I go over bumps, necessitating reaching down to pull it back off the tyre and into the stowed position. One day I'm going to grab a handful of moving spokes by mistake!!
It also seems impossible to open it up (without wrecking something). I'd like to take a look inside and maybe give it some maintenance every now and then but cannot see an easy way of doing this.
But yes, on the whole, cheap, reliable and a good light source.

Also...there was a washer. I took care to stack the nuts etc in the order they came off the axle, then I reached for something and the stack fell over. Where does the washer belong? Surely not between the cone nut and locking nut? It looks like it can only belong outside the locknut, but I'd like that confirmed.
I think it's quite common on an axle to have a washer or spacer between the cone and locknut, especially on the non drive side. Here's a stock photo from eBay showing just that, (random sample of one!!)::

Re: sub 20 lbs Raleigh Record Ace
No, when running fixed gear I just use a front caliper. I've become reasonably proficient at ambidextrous 'skidding', or more usually just slowing down using the pedals and straps. This bike is mainly for summer commuting use, and the occasional 40 or 50 miler. I don't tend to seek out big hills on it, or go for multi day tours.
